ah, Thursday

Today, my friends, was a good day.

As I sit here, wondering why no one is online until I realize that it's a work night, it's almost eerie how light it is outside. If it weren't so cold outside, I would grab a blanket, drive my car out into the middle of the country and just stare at the sky. That's one of the nice things about being in the middle of nowhere...the middle of the country is a mile away in any direction.

Anyway, I made my way to my parent's house this afternoon. I managed to take a few detours on the way here: the gas station, the oil change place, the place where I grabbed lunch, andPetsmart. As much as I hate to admit this, I'm a bit of a softy. Little did I know, the Eden Prairie Petsmart has an adoption center in it. Today's biggest mistake: walking into the adoption center and walking out with a pet. Ok, so I'm kidding. However, I really wanted to walk out with a pet. Her name is Katie. She's a three year old, all black cat with yellow eyes. A little spooky? Sure. But she won my heart. The tag on the front of the cage said she was shy. So doing what any animal loving person would do, I stuck my hand in to pet her hoping that I'd leave with as many fingers as I went in with. I've got to tell you, if that cat is shy, then I'm the Pope. She was adorable. Not only did she love all of the petting, but she licked my hand. So either she liked me, or I smelled like some sort of kitty delicacy. Needless to say, I had to leave her behind and it wasn't easy.

This brings us to the highlight of my day. Around 4 this afternoon I got a call on my cell phone. For those of you that don't know, my parent's house is surrounded by a cellular black hole. So I let it go tovoice mail and then called back on the house phone. To make a long story short, as of February 12th, I'm employed...by the people I interviewed with yesterday. To celebrate, Mom and I went to the grocery store. We came home, had supper and then I watched The Office and Grey's Anatomy. Following that, Mom and I watched 3 hours of Sex and the City. I think I got her sucked into it so I won't feel bad taking over the living room to watch it tomorrow.

So as I said before, today was a good day.

The End.
